Re: UIM apprentice...

[D.BALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Specific to your mention of wanting to add a CPYSPLF option to WRKSPLF...

As it happens, I have a WRKSPLF lookalike (in UIM) that was authored by Mike
Cravitz; I thought it was published by News400 eons ago, but the source he
gave me has no references to News400.  Plus a search on the AS400 Network site
turned up nothing.  I modified two options to use CPYSPLF as well as a
home-grown PRTRNGSPLF (Print Page Range Spool File), both of which pre-fill
the spool file name info into the command prompts.

I have CC'd this post to Mike to ask his permission to share his LSTSPLF
utility.

BTW, in searching for the LSTSPLF utility on the AS400 Network site, I found
what look to be several good references on using UIM.  Note that most require
membership.

Simon,

Have always wondered if the following is possible:

We know that PDM allows us to create options etc.  Will it not be great if we
can add more options to existing IBM panels - like WRKSPLF?  I for one, would
like to create such options like CPYSPLF, or other options to archive etc. for
example.

Will it be possible to explore this option in panels that will be created by
users ?  Predefined options numbers can be provided ofcourse...Or is the whole
thing too much to ask from UIM?

just curious.

Hello All,

Since there seems to be a reasonable interest in a UIM guide I shall try to
create one in what little spare time I have.  I think an e-Book format is
probably the best approach but I will listen to those who desire a printed
copy.  I suspect a properly published book (a la Duke Press and Midrange
Computing) will take so much of the price in "costs" as to make it
untenable although I'm open to approaches from publishers.

I intend the book to start with the simple stuff (menus, help text, etc)
and move on to the really useful stuff (input screens, scrolling,
conditioned displays, and work-with panels, etc).  All code examples will
be in RPG IV with additional examples in C, and ILE/COBOL.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
